How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Garretson

Humid weather slows drying, and slow drying favors growth. Dehumidifiers pull water out of the air so the ceiling can release its own. A Garretson crew sizes the equipment to the room instead of using a rule of thumb.

1. Release the trapped water

   If a ceiling is already failing, the crew takes the sagging section down in pieces. That removes the weight from overhead and gives the water a way out.

2. Map the moisture

   A technician scans the ceiling with a thermal camera, then checks suspect spots with a meter. Cold patches that read wet show where the water really went.

3. Open the wet layers

   Dust control matters when a ceiling comes down. The crew covers floors and seals doorways so debris stays in the work area.

4. Dry and verify

   After the equipment leaves, the rebuild can begin. The crew hands over the log so the drywall contractor knows the framing is ready.
